Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Altagracia 2016

This is a monumental effort that displays concentrated dark fruit flavors, truffle, tobacco, and graphite. Intense and rich on the palate, luxurious velvet tannins give way to notes of black cherry, plum, espresso, dried savory herbs and cocoa. Exceedingly complex and expensive tasting for the price-point, the 2016 Altagracia showcases the Eisele terroir in an...

Red Mare Alpha Mare White Blend 2017

Aromas here are reflective of the warmer vintage, with honeyed beeswax, Gewürztraminer-like spicy florals, ripe stone fruit and the suggestion of fresh cut straw. Once in the mouth, these characters are balanced with lifted, delicate and complex notions of melon and peach tea. The beautiful arc is grounded by an undercurrent of fleshy roundness and...

La Pitchoune Chardonnay Pratt 2020

Winery Tasting Notes “Hazy golden-yellow in color, aromas of tangerine oil, Meyer lemon blossom, green apple skin, and yeasted dough that are highlighted by an underlying flinty, smoky component. Rich flavors of ripe Gravenstein apples, lemon curd tartlet, and roasted hazelnuts coalesce on a lingering, minerality marked the finish. Drinking well now, but expect this...

Sarah Francis Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Georges III 2018

This velvety smooth Cabernet from Napa’s unanimously celebrated 2018 vintage is truly dazzling as it reminds us of Cult Cabernets such as Harlan or Shafer Hillside Select. The bouquet allures with notes of new leather, cigar box, and freshly ground espresso. Flashy and fun notes of brambleberries, black currant, cassis and Lindt dark chocolate waltz...

Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2015

Simply stated, this is a big WOW wine! Intensely flavorful with deep dark fruit, a divinely silky smooth texture, and an overall freshness that reminds me of far pricier reds from Bordeaux’s left bank (in prime vintages). Similar to recent vintages, this magnificent effort displays a core of cassis, blackberry, graphite and espresso bean complimented...
